    Ronx is a Latino punk band coming from Bronx, NY. Influenced by bands such as Blink 182, Neck Deep, and 5 Seconds of Summer. They use energetic instrumentation, memorable melodies, and honest lyrics to craft a similar sound in the genre, and this is shown very clearly on their latest EP “Another Year & I’m Still Here,” which was released in March of 2021.  The year of 2021 brought plenty of material from the band (their sophomore EP “Another Year & I’m Still Here,” as well as three singles - “Mary Jane,” “Drug In Me,” and “Good Vibes”). The trio still has more up their sleeve, and recently returned with another brand new single, titled “RETROGRADE.” During a recent astrological retrograde earlier this year, the band reflected on the shift in energy and began to craft the track. The song’s lyrics discuss people who are manipulative or just try to tear you or others down and send a message encouraging listeners to cut the toxicity out of their lives.

    Ever since their respective bands toured together in 2017, guitarist Chris Wethington (of Softspoken) and drummer Cody Frain (of A Scent Like Wolves) entertained the idea of writing together in a new project. Four years later, after touring across the world, racking up millions of streams, and releasing Billboard charting albums separately, their ideas and talents have come together to create the perfect blend of progressive metalcore grooves and beautifully dissonant melodies. Giving a voice to the music is Chris Roberts - the original vocalist of (formerly) post-hardcore band Emarosa (then also known as Corsets are Cages). Roberts played a large part in writing the first versions of most of the songs that would end up on Emarosa's breakout EP "This is Your Way Out", but parted ways with the band to see success in two other regional acts (The Revival Sound, Take Me Home) before taking a break from performing. Having shared the stage with Roberts while in his first band (Thwomp in the House of Boo), Wethingto

    19/11/2021 Duration: 01h16min

    Texas alternative pop act southstate is out to correct the misconception that the Southern states are without culture and diversity. Led by the multiracial, multicultural Sam Ma, southstate was initially conceived to make music for those who felt out of place and didn't fit perfectly into any of the boxes they are supposed to occupy. Musically, southstate takes a dexterous approach to its art; nods to bedroom pop acts the likes of blackbear and Jeremy Zucker; emo titans such as Fall Out Boy and Grayscale as well as Asian acts Keshi and Joji. Having garnered support from regional touring, southstate has also picked up national tastemaker support, with Spotify's The Scene and New Punk Tracks playlists, as well as Loudwire and Punknews showing early support. New single "idwda" sees Ma partner with Broadside frontman Oliver Baxxter, to deliver another slice of emo glazed pop.

  • Episode 135 - Clint Woolsey of Stone Senate

    29/10/2021 Duration: 01h10min

    Stone Senate has been called “a heavier version of Lynyrd Skynyrd, crossed with The Allman Brothers Band”. While being mentioned in such heady company is flattering, one thing Stone Senate is most definitely not, is a retro act. They are taking what came naturally from their collective influences a step further. Fronted by lead vocalist/guitarist Clint Woolsey’s smoldering, soulful vocals and unmistakable stage presence, stage left and stage right are burning with dual lead guitars of James Edwards and Ted Hennington. Add to these the blood bonded rhythm section of “The Mud Brothers”- Paul Zettler on bass/vocals and David Zettler on drums/vocals and you have caught lightning in a bottle. When thinking about the upcoming release, lead singer Clint Woolsey says, “The album “Between the Dark and the Light” covers the entire spectrum of way up high, to the lowest lows. This feels like the best album we (Stone Senate) have done, and was written by all 5 band members (James Edwards, Paul Zettler, David Zettler, Ted

    Emo alternative band This Summer have released their new single "The Rabbit Hole," available on all digital platforms NOW. “The Rabbit Hole” leads off their upcoming debut album (more info TBA), and introduces their new music in an emotionally captivating light. According to the band, "The Rabbit Hole" is a reflection of coping with PTSD, specifically living with a loved one with substance abuse issues. The lyrics depict a scene of watching someone slowly deteriorate as your tolerance for their reckless decisions grows thin, as well as coping with the loss of said loved one due to their dependency. A fresh take on their revamped, modern rock sound, "The Rabbit Hole" finds This Summer in their most genuine state - gripping, open, and incredibly bold. In need of a reset, This Summer swapped their nostalgic hard rock sound in early 2020 for an angstier, feisty, modern clash of driving melodies and emotionally gripping vocals. The band has not been shy about bringing deep and emotionally enriching lyrics to the m
